<title>how to choose default outbout network interface?</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23781749</link>
<description><![CDATA[Hi, I have 2 IP's on my ubuntu system
/etc/network/interfaces
auto venet0:0
iface venet0:0 inet static
        address 1.1.1.1
        netmask 255.255.255.255
        broadcast 0.0.0.0

auto venet0:1
iface venet0:1 inet static
        address 1.1.1.2
        netmask 255.255.255.255

Is there a simple way to choose which network interface is primary? For example in my php scripts I want to use CURL and have it go from IP 1.1.1.2 instead of 1.1.1.1?

Right now, as a workaround, I have a script to to swap the IP's in my interfaces file, then do a /etc/init.d/networking restart

But there has to be an easier way to do it no?

Thank in advance unix gurus!!

<title>Mint 8 sound pops</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23780822</link>
<description><![CDATA[I am a brand new Linux Mint 8 user...new to any flavor of Linux.  I just installed Mint 8 Helena successfully today, and was able to even get my wifi working!  I have a K7S5A pro mobo with Ac97 C-media onboard with 1g ram.  It pops and skips sounds when I try to play a CD and I don't know what to do to fix it.  

I thought I saw something on their website addressing sound popping, while I was searching for info about the Distro,  but I've been searching for the last 3 hours trying to find it, and can't.  

What suggestions do you have on how to address this issue?

Thanks very much!!]]></description>

<title>Symbian Phone OS Goes Open-Source</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23754899</link>
<description><![CDATA[From BBC News
4 February 2010 -    quote:Symbian phone operating system goes open source

The group behind the world's most popular smartphone operating system - Symbian - is giving away "billions of dollars" worth of code for free.

The Symbian Foundation's announced that it would make its code open source in 2008 and has now completed the move.

It means that any organisation or individual can now use and modify the platform's underlying source code "for any purpose".

Symbian has shipped in more than 330m mobile phones, the foundation says.

The group has now released what it calls the Symbian platform as open source code. This platform unites different elements of the Symbian operating system as well as components - in particular, user interfaces - developed by individual members.

Until now, Symbian's source code was only open to members of the organisation.

It can be downloaded from the foundation's website from 1400 GMT.

...one of the motivations for the move was to speed up the rate at which the 10-year-old platform evolved.

Nokia bought the Symbian software in 2008. Symbian development is currently dominated by Nokia, but the foundation hoped to reduce the firm's input to "no more than 50%" by the middle of 2011

Despite being the world's most popular smart phone operating system, Symbian has been losing the publicity battle, with Google's Android operating system and Apple's iPhone dominating recent headlines.]]></description>

<title>Partitioning adventure - still have question</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23767443</link>
<description><![CDATA[So, I have been tentatively invited to participate in official Ubuntu testing. One of the requirements was that I have a spare disk partition.

So, Friday evening, I started trying to prepare one. The first thing I found out, and this is what I still have a question about, is that the Gparted Live CD cannot see any partitions on my hard drive. This relates back to a problem I had a couple of months ago, when I tried to use Clonezilla to image my drive and it could find no partitions to back up. WTF?

So, getting good help on Ubuntuforums, I finally determined that I can use gparted on the Karmic Live CD to repartition my drive. The next adventure was that I had already allocated four partitions as Primary, so I could have no new partitions.

So, I copied the contents of my /usr partition into my root partition. Then I deleted the old /usr partition and moved my /home all the way to the "right" of the disk map, so the free space would be contiguous with the root partition, which is in an extended partition. Finally, I enlarged the primary partition that contains the root partition, giving me the ability to create a new extended partition for my Ubuntu testing. Whew!

So, I learned a hell of a lot. But, still, no one who has been helping me has any clue why Gparted Live CD and Clonezilla Kive CD see nothing but unallocated space on my drive. Does anyone, here, have any idea?

Thanks,
Tim

<title>Dual Boot Question</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23766247</link>
<description><![CDATA[Here's some background before I ask my question(s). 

I'm dual booting right now. I have one hard drive  with 3 partitions.

WindwsXP (installed first C:\)  | Saved Data (FAT32) | Kubuntu 9.10 (installed after WindowsXP installation)

With GRUB as the boot loader. I don't think it is GRUB 2 as it still uses the menu.lst file. 

Now in the past when I had to reinstall WindowsXP it was no problem since GRUB was already set to load WindowsXP. Now I want to install Windows 7 where XP now resides ... a clean install. Once I do that:

Will GRUB see Windows 7?

Or 

Will Windows 7 take over as boot lader?

How badly will I bork things up?

<title>What characters to avoid when naming files/folders...</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23745069</link>
<description><![CDATA[I am still not clear as to exactly which characters to avoid (or maybe it's easier to just list which are perfectly non conflicting characters to use) when naming files and folders

I am not talking about illegal characters like maybe "*" or "/" or "\" or ...

but ones that can still be used, but make things more difficult like a space " " or a "[" or what else?

because I ended up putting a backup folder from Windows with personal files to an online UNIX host and when I try to download or etc files I get errors due to strange characters in my file names... I'd like to avoiding files in such a way in the future - thus essence of my post

Thank you...]]></description>

<title>Need to Format Flash Drive to XFS</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23766982</link>
<description><![CDATA[My router only supports FAT and XFS for NAS, and since I have files too large for FAT, I would like to format the drive to XFS.  Being in a "Windows World" I was searching for an easy way to do this.  It looks like a livecd would probably be the easiest way.  I tried Puppy, but it doesn't come with the needed program to format to XFS.  Any ideas on how I can easily do this?

Thanks!]]></description>
